As I watch the Lady Vols struggle to put away Liberty, I have to believe that OSU will end TN’s tournament on Sunday.

...by doing so, Holly will keep adding to her resume, for getting the "first tournament loss" in Knoxville...Tennessee has never lost an NCAA Tournament game in Knoxville, going 56-0
 
Either we are watching an incredible defensive game in Raleigh or the WBB game has been set back 30 years.

At halftime: NC State leads Elon, 27-17. A "flurry" of scoring in the last couple of minutes resulted in the largest lead for NC State. State was 8 of 25 from the field...Elon was 5 of 22. NC State was 8 of 11 from the FT line...while Elon was 4 of 8. Both teams hit three THREEs.
NC State outrebounded Elon, 20-18. Elon committed 11 turnovers, NC State had 9.

Akela Maize and Kiara Leslie lead NC State with 8 points each...Konig had 7. Chelsea Nelson just 1 point.

Shay Burnett leads Elon with 7 points.

You mean, they might lay an early Easter egg?:eek:

I am probably most curious about the Cal/Virginia game and its story line of not only Gottlieb and Boyle but of two under achieving teams who need to step it up. Game is more critical for Boyle who despite making her 1st NCAA appearance in 7 years (ouch) still needs to do more than she has add in a poor recruiting class, the last year of her contract, a new AD at Virginia and you have a proverbial hot seat situation.

Great summary of UVA’s situation. I’m routing for them to win today and Boyle to be gone anyway. She won’t take the program where it could/should go.

NC State came out firing in the 3rd quarter and now leads Elon, 37-21, 4:54 left 3rd quarter.

Elon is a decent defensive team and Shay Burnett their star. The offense is very immature, though. Ah well
 
NC State shot 66.7% from the field in the 3rd quarter and are rolling against Elon, 47-30, as the game enters the 4th quarter. Kiara Leslie with 13 points...Ace Konig with 12...and Chelsea Nelson notched 6 points in the 3rd quarter, including a rare THREE.

Shay Burnett with 12 points for Elon.
 
NC State has blown the game wide open now, thanks to a surprising 8-point output from Erika Cassell, who has made two THREEs during the run. Cassell only had two made THREEs all season before today. 55-32, NC State leads now. Timeout Elon...a little less than 7 minutes to go.

Tenn takes a bit of time to get rolling; their opening play can be misleading. Tenn 100-40 Liberty.
Re: Texas A&M: Like Anriel Howard's style. Models herself after Jackie Joyner-Kersey, I believe. Best performance by Danni Williams I've seen. In the other Aggie games I've seen Chennedy Carter was the whole show.
 
Final: NC State beats Elon, 62-35. They play Maryland Sunday.
 
Despite the magic 100 today Tenn put all of its defects on full display. A decent team would have put them behind and those defects would become cracks and it would be lights out UT before the 4th quarter.
 
After its 62-35 victory over Elon, the Wolfpack Women of NC State improve to 25-8 on the season, and faces old ACC nemesis, Maryland, Sunday. Elon concludes its season at 25-8. NC State is now 13-2 in NCAAT games played in Raleigh and have not lost a home NCAAT game since 1983.

After a cold start, NC State ended up shooting near its season FG%, finishing 22 of 52 for 42.3%. Elon was cold all day, shooting just 12 of 51 for 23.5%.

State was 7 of 17 from THREE, while Elon was 5 of 16.

NCState was 11 of 17 from the FT line...while Elon was 6 of 16.

NC State outrebounded Elon, 42-36 and forced 17 turnovers. NC State turned the ball over 13 times, but only 3 turnovers in the second half.

Kiara Leslie was the leading scorer for NC State, with 13 points and 4 rebounds. Ace Konig recorded 12points on 5 of 9 shooting, and grabbed 5 boards. Chelsea Nelson had 9 points with 12 rebounds, Erika Cassell also notched 9 points and Akela Maize had 8. Kayla Ealey added 7 for NC State.

For Elon, its star was the only one in double figures. Shay Burnett recorded 12 points on 4 of 10 shooting, was 3 of 4 from THREE and grabbed 6 boards.
 
welp... that was a boring start to the tourney.... good thing there are men's games to watch as well. hope things get better for the later session

Just saw that Andraya Carter is doing the Texas A&M game. That's a nice quick transition to the booth for her. Good to see she has landed on her feet. Always seemed like a real nice kid (for a Lady Vol ;) )

I've seen her do several games, she was fine ... which is pretty good for a newbie.
 
A rare 3rd quarter appearance for ND walk-on Katie Cole. I don't think she would have ever dreamed 12 months ago that she'd be playing in an NCAA tournament game.

Looks like Westbeld is done for the day (and hopefully only today!), so ND is down to 6 six scholarship players.

California's coach ,with Anigwe out (medical yes, what??) , has to be thinking:

Sounds like a perfect replacement for Holly. Sorry, it was low hanging fruit and I just had to grab it! :p

You'll want to take a mid-morning nap or a pizza run when UConn is playing.
